Andrew James is a YouTuber and an affiliate marketer who promotes Clickbank affiliate products. On his YouTube channel, he has many videos on various ways to make money online of which affiliate marketing is part. Andrew said,
"It really isn't that difficult to make some really good money with affiliate marketing using marketplaces like ClickBank, as long as you implement the correct strategy you can be assured of a profitable affiliate marketing business."
How to Get a Profitable Affiliate Product from Clickbank
Andrew uses and recommends using Clickbank because it has a lot of affiliate products cutting across several niches. One of the challenges of using Clickbank as a marketplace is that there are too many products on the platform, which makes choosing a profitable product difficult. A niche category can have up to 234 pages of products, which can make the product research process very overwhelming.
According to Andrew,
"Your product selection is a very important factor for your affiliate marketing business, it can make or break your affiliate marketing business. What I like to do is to use an online tool called CBsnooper.com."
CBSnooper is a web app, which means there is no need to install software for the app to work. You can use CBSnooper immediately without registering; however, registering gives you additional features such as bookmarking products and a longer historical record. It displays all the top products of Clickbank you can promote and make money online, and it shows the products based on different rank metrics and gives information regarding the product's id, descriptions, gravity ups and downs, and prices. Also, on CBSnooper, you can get information about inactive products, allowing you to avoid them. It saves you time and burden in targeting the products.
Andrew vouched for this app when he said,
"CBSnooper is very powerful when it comes to selecting a really good ClickBank product that is going to make a lot of affiliate commissions because it tells you which products are currently hot in the market and which of them are popular and doing well."
He chose the health and fitness niche for his affiliate marketing business with a subcategory of dietary supplements. He said,
"The dietary supplements subcategory is one of my favorites and the reason for that is because I can make a recurring commission when promoting these dietary supplement products."
Once you are in the dietary supplements subcategory on CBSnooper, dietary supplement products and their corresponding gravity score is shown. The higher the gravity score of a product, the more popular the product is, and the popularity is measured by the number of sales made for that product.
Usually, Andrew filters his searches based on the rebill of the products. Rebill means the amount of the recurring commission that is paid every time a customer repurchases or continues to extend the usage of a product. So when you search based on rebill, the products with the highest recurring commission come first.
Targeting products with a gravity score of 25 and above is advisable; on the other hand, you shouldn't be promoting products with a gravity score of more than 100 because a gravity score of 100 means the product is saturated according to Andrew. This means there might be high competition for such products among other affiliate marketers.
The Product
The product Andrew eventually chose was Biofit, with a recurring commission of $50 and a gravity score of 26. BioFit is a dietary supplement designed to promote healthy digestion and weight loss. The supplement contains a blend of seven probiotic strains: live bacteria and yeasts beneficial to the body and prebiotic fibers that feed the good bacteria in the gut. These ingredients work together to support a healthy gut microbiome, which can positively impact overall health and well-being.
The probiotic strains in BioFit are lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium longum, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, bifidobacterium breve, lactobacillus casei, and lactobacillus salivarius. These strains have been chosen for their ability to survive stomach acid and colonize the gut, where they can improve digestion and support a healthy immune system.
In addition to the probiotic strains, BioFit contains prebiotic fibers that act as food for the good bacteria in the gut. This helps to support the growth and colonization of beneficial bacteria, which can help to rebalance the gut microbiome and improve digestive health.
BioFit has been marketed as a weight loss supplement, as some research suggests that a healthy gut microbiome can support a healthy metabolism and aid in weight loss. However, it's essential to let your buyers know that individual results may vary, and BioFit should be used with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
After choosing a product through CBSnooper, you can proceed to Clickbank to get your affiliate link for the product.
How to Use Affiliate Marketing Promotional Ebooks
Affiliate promotional materials are marketing tools provided to affiliates by product owners to help promote their products or services. These materials may include banners, text ads, email templates, social media posts, product images, videos, etc. These materials aim to make it easier for affiliates to market the product to their audience, and affiliates can use these materials in their marketing campaigns, website, blog, or social media channels to help promote the product and drive sales.
The promotional materials provided by the product owners are usually designed to be visually appealing and persuasive, highlighting the product's benefits and encouraging potential customers to take action. These materials are often customizable so that affiliates can tailor them to their audience and marketing strategy.
In the same vein, the campaign page of BioFit has some information and materials. For example, there is information that ¾ of the potential buyers for this product are women, while ¼ are men. Also, the type of age range of people that are most likely to purchase the product is between ages 25 to 65.
Moreover, the product sells the most in the United States, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom. It was also stated that people usually purchase this product using their mobile. So there is a need to optimize any promotional material used for mobile view.
The BioFit program has about four ebooks as part of its affiliate promotional material, and Andrew chose the ebook titled "Favorite Dessert" to promote his affiliate link. Using the ebook as it is cannot generate any affiliate commission because the ebook only has information about desserts and there is no affiliate link in the ebook.
How to Edit an Ebook for Affiliate Marketing Promotion
Many software applications can be used for editing a pdf document. However, the application Andrew used is Sedja.
It is a web-based application for creating, editing, and managing PDF documents. It allows users to perform various functions on PDF files, such as creating and editing PDFs, converting PDFs to other formats, merging multiple PDFs into a single document, and splitting a large PDF into smaller files.
To use Sedja to add an affiliate link to an ebook, you can follow the procedures below:
1. Go to sedja.com.
2. Click on the "Upload PDF" button on the homepage, and select the PDF document you want to edit from your local files or cloud storage.
3. Once the PDF has been uploaded, click on the "Link" button in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen.
4. Click the "Add/Edit Web URL" button, and a dialog box will appear where you can enter your affiliate link.
5. Paste your affiliate link into the "URL" field and click "OK."
6. In the "Link Appearance" section, you can customize the link's appearance, including the color, border, and text style.
7. You can also choose whether you want the link to open in a new or current window.
8. Once satisfied with the link's appearance, click "Apply."
9. When you are done editing the PDF, click on the "Download" button to save the edited PDF to your computer or cloud storage.
After downloading the ebook, you should upload the ebook to a Google Drive folder and copy the folder's link. You must ensure you upload the edited ebook, not the one you downloaded from the affiliate promotional page. Also, ensure that the Google Drive link you copied is not restricted.
How to Promote Your Affiliate Link
The first way Andrew promoted his affiliate link was by joining health and fitness Facebook groups and posting this free ebook there.
First, he made a post about his free ebook that can help the audience lose weight with an additional caption that the audience should like his post and comment on the post if they want the ebook.
Once any audience shows interest in the ebook, he sends the Google Drive link containing the free ebook, and then the person can read the ebook.
The second way Andrew promoted his affiliate link was by using a platform that connects influencers to promoters called Shoutcart.
Shoutcart is a platform that connects social media influencers with brands and businesses for influencer marketing. Influencers can sign up to the platform, list their social media accounts, such as Instagram or TikTok, and set prices for sponsored posts. Brands can then browse through the list of influencers and choose ones that match their target audience and marketing goals.
To use Shoutcart effectively, you should filter by the social media platform you want your affiliate link to be promoted, and Andrew always chose Instagram.
Shoutcart will cost you some money; therefore, you may start with the Facebook group method mentioned earlier, and it is a very effective way to make money with affiliate marketing too. You can use the commission made from promoting your affiliate link through the Facebook group method to run the Shoutcart method.
